Winch to get a wee chipper on my pickup

[wicklamulla]

A couple of things to bear in mind.

 

The chipper's weight; my Jo Beau comes in at 145kg; I couldn't haul the CS100 at 195kg.

 

How is the ladder rack secured to the vehicle? Mine's an aftermarket one (Nissan stopped fitting their excellent ladder racks at factory to their shame) so is feebly bolted horizontally into the bodywork: to mount a winch on it the rack would need somehow to bear downwards on the gunwales of the buck else you'll rip the ladder rack off.

 

yep yule need to brace/strengthen the ladder rack. Thas why i over engineered my ladder rack u can see in the pics above.

Use a little winch on a tow bar mount on ours , it can easily be swapped between vans

Van does look like we are picking up dead cows though

Here's what I use as mentioned by Dave

Just clip it on to the head board then put the sling through the handle
